In the search field on VJ, type FIANCE VISACHECKLIST, and you should find the a pdf. of the Jamaica packet 3 letter. A former member posted on here when she and her fiance went through the process and I believe it in might be pinned in the JA portal.

 

I was trying to attach it in the post but the file is too big. 

This is great info, thank you!  Glad or hear that it moves quickly! I would love for him to be here for thanksgiving even though he doesn't like turkey. I told him it's because the turkey they have in Jamaica is gross processed deli meat and that once he tries real turkey he'll change his mind

Yeah pretty sure @vcpdragon just updated and there was a UK for 27th April as well today. The tracker app is kind of fun.

Could someone explain what Packet 3 and Packet 4 are? I'm clueless, and didn't see anything on the referenced website.

 

Thanks. 

You are going through the Manila Embassy.  There really isn't a Packet 3 & 4 per se.  Just follow the steps that others have laid out for you in earlier posts.  Other Embassies have different procedures, and they may or may not have a Packet 3 & 4.  For you, ignore references to these Packets.

 

Take your MNL# and submit your DS-160 and get a submission confirmation, get the visa payment receipt from the website and pay the visa fee, schedule an embassy interview, and do the medical at SLEC (there is no appointment for the medical, only an online registration and show up early with all the documents they want.)

 

This is all self help.  They send emails at various points, but they are generic and not required for anything.

 

Timing is all up to you now.  Don't wait for them at all.

Day 17 since rfe paperwork received at USCIS. I broke down and decided to call with the high hopes that maybe I just didn't get a notification. I've received email and texts notifications throughout the process so I guess I've been lucky in that sense! However because of that, my hopes weren't high. I spoke to a tier 2 who asked me a ton of questions before saying the magic words... you've been approved! Approval was last Friday, 14 days from the received date and 170 days from original received date.  

Congratulations!!!!

Nice! What is the date that it says you were approved? I'm like you in the sense that I need additional proof that we were really approved. I made her tell me twice on the phone but the app isn't updated
